Trial structure of the audio-visual picture-matching paradigm. Participants saw a picture on screen for 2000 ms, followed by a visual fixation cross and a simultaneous acoustical presentation of a sentence in background noise. Background noise was presented 3000 ms before and ended 3000 ms after sentence offset. After the acoustic presentation, participants’ task was to decide whether the picture matched with the sentence or not. Pupil dilations were measured from the picture onset until the participants’ response in the comprehension task. The comprehension task was followed by a subjective rating of the experienced difficulty.
